Default Nice Sunday Afternoon Ride

Well it was gorgeous today in Tennessee! Joselyn has taken her 2nd real ride and today couldn't have been nicer. She's getting the hang of being a passenger and we are both looking forward to some nice trips. It was brisk but sunny. I think she digs it.

Yeah the last 2 days have been great I've been waiting for almost 2 weeks to get the bike back from the dealer after ordering new tires Metzler 880's and then finding out they forgot to order the bloody tubes. So this past Saturday all the stars were aligned right with the HD dealers and I got my bike and rode and rode and rode.... this morning was cool too didn't push it just got up late and made sure everybody got taken care of.... daughter went to ballet class and we slipped out for a nice ride down the mountain and into the valley.

Stopped for coffee and pie, had a nice conversation and just dug it.

Glad you got in a nice ride. My wife loves our Harley and rides often.

It raining like heck in Portland, OR right now and looks like it will continue for most of next week.
Sadly the Harley sits in the corner of the garage looking dejected.

Sounds like we are going to get some good weather up here in Wisconsin this next week. The whole month of Oct. was crapp. Maybe with some luck we can make up for it now in Nov. By the way nice bike.

I think the Metzler 880's are going to work out fine, I went with them because I have 18" rims and a 160 60 18 on the rear. The Metzler fits a little better than the Dunlops so they solved a real problem. The Metzler 880's are supposed to handle a passenger a little better too and as I just recently added the sissy bar and rear seat along with different bags it was part of an upgrade. The tires were the last change I made because of the research needed to get the fit correct in the rear fender.

Now I have a "transformer" like the toys my son used to have only it's a transformer Harley. Solo or Dually!
